kirtar will become famous soon enough
What do you think will be important this year?

It's still early in build season, but what do you think will be the most important things to keep track of this year (I'll try to update this list with the suggestions for quick reference)?

My predictions:
Ability to go over bumps and/or through the tunnels
-Tunnels can easily be blocked
-Bumps are wide, but can risk tipping
General scoring ability (i.e. average how much they score)
-Ability to hang
-From tower
-From another robot
-Ability to support another robot
-Ability to propel a ball through the air?
Defensive ability
Human Player speed
Attention to Rules (not getting penalties/cards)

Additions:
Ability to start in any field zones
Ability to play effectively in any field zone
Ability to pass and receive passes
Ability to defend tunnels (basically, ability to push/resistance from being pushed)
Vision Tracking abilities
